Update: Video: Ohio State QB Terrelle Pyror living large

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was living large when he showed up at summer camp with a 32" Vizio flat-screen television in tow. Was Pryor one of the whiners when the seniors declared a no-tech week?

"A lot of them were like, 'How will this make us a better football player?'" Ohio State senior kicker Aaron Pettrey said. "But it's not about that. It's about becoming a team and spending more time with everybody.

"I think we needed this, because we're young. We're a really young team," said Pettrey, a fifth-year senior. "All the teams I've been on have been veteran, with veteran leaders everywhere. The first day I came in [to preseason practice], with all the freshmen here, I thought we got a new team. We haven't been around together as a group enough. So I agreed with Hell Week, because it can only benefit you - more sleep and coming together."

The Hell Week name was borrowed from the Navy Seals, inspired by the book Jim Tressel gave the seniors to read this summer: Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 by former Seal Marcus Luttrell.

During their Hell Week, the Seals "sacrificed everything," senior punter Jon Thoma said. "They'd have no sleep until they passed out, then they'd take them to the hospital and they'd wake up and start doing pushups again. We knew we wouldn't be able to sacrifice like that, because we need to rest and get our bodies in shape for practice. So we found another way to sacrifice."

All the technology was rounded up Sunday and will be returned after Saturday's jersey scrimmage. The cable cords were removed from the team hotel rooms, so the extra TVs brought by Terrelle Pryor and Duron Carter aren't doing any good this week. Anyone found violating the rules has to redo the precamp conditioning test, running back-and-forth across the field 20 times. The only calls allowed are made in the coaches' offices, with permission. Girlfriends and parents are out of the loop.

The only remnant of the modern world?

"There's lights," Thoma said.

The result is card games in the rooms, more hanging out, more early bedtimes, and, if the plan goes right, a better team.
